Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):

far more than just oddities
Thoughts:
I did DNF at 23%
Portal fantasy sounded so exciting, it made me think of Narnia. With multiple POVs
and timelines I found myself confused from the start. The attempt to be funny felt off
and outdated. I really couldn't follow what the overall plot was besides organizing a
deceased man`s collection of "junk."
I hope to find a better book to dive into that is similar to A Series of Unfortunate
Events/Narnia this book however was not it.
TTFN,
Ashley
